When FAMU-FSU mechanical engineering professor Christian Hubicki and Morehouse College physics professor Dwayne Joseph from joined forces, their aim was to broaden the scope of robotic education at historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) through an exciting summer course. 

Florida A&M University (FAMU) recently named Suvanu De, the Dean of the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, with the prestigious “Google Endowment” designation.

It is the first Google deanship endowed to FAMU and is a testament to the college’s drive to attain Carnegie Research I status. 

Quantum computers have the potential to be revolutionary tools. They can perform calculations that would take classical computers many years to resolve.

But to make an effective quantum computer, you need a reliable quantum bit, or qubit, that can exist in a simultaneous 0 or 1 state for a sufficiently long period, known as its coherence time.

The graduate programs in the nation’s only joint engineering college are among the best in Florida and the nation, according to the latest rankings published in the U.S. News & World Report’s 2024 edition of “Best Graduate Schools.”  

The FAMU-FSU College of Engineering moved up one spot among public institutions with a No. 60 ranking nationally and tied for third overall among Florida public universities.
